Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1099: Full and No Empty Hooks (Monthly Ticket +3)

They did it at the same time yesterday, and discussed changes, so they placed the hooks in a similarly dense pattern, with five to six hundred hooks on one line.

Those who went into the water went to salvage sea urchins, while Ye Yaodong started calling on those who were idle on the sea to collect longline fishing.

"Be careful when you pull it up, don't let it get tangled with the other fishing lines. Try to pull one in first and see what you get."

The boatman nearby agreed, "There's a large group of silver fish underneath, and they were thrown into the trench so accurately, so there must be a lot of bites."

"Yes, with that large group, the rate of taking the bait is definitely high. Maybe they will catch one after another, and some may even bite their tails and come up."

"Other people just throw longlines into the sea and try their luck to see how many bites they get. It all depends on luck. What we are doing today is different. We throw it directly into a dense school of fish. How can the chance of a bite be bad? What's more, hairtail fish are greedy."

"Yes, this wave will definitely bring us good results..."

"What a pity! The fishing line is tangled after I pulled it up. I have to take it back and reorganize it before I can use it again. Otherwise, I still have time today and could cut up some small fish of poor quality and use them as bait..."

"Isn't that a pity? This fish is so expensive. It would be a pity to just cut it up and use it as bait. This is also different from a fishing line and a net..."

"Who said we don't have any bait? Did we go out to sea to trawl yesterday? The fish we ate last night were brought by Lao Pei..."

The boatmen all gathered together, chatting and craning their necks to watch the longline being reeled in, discussing everything and anything. When it was not their turn to go into the water, they all had a lot of free time on the shore, so now was a good time to have something to do.

Everyone was optimistic about this wave of harvest. After all, all of them had been in the water many times and knew the conditions beneath the water surface. Although they could not dive that deep, since the bait was right in front of their mouths, there was no reason for them not to eat it.

"It's coming, it's coming, the line below feels so heavy..." The boatman, who was reeling in the line, reported the situation with a smile on his face.

Everyone couldn't help but urge him after hearing this.

"coming……"

Ye Yaodong also stood nearby and watched, but their fish had not yet been pulled out of the water, and the people on A Guang's fishing boat nearby exclaimed with joy.

"Wow, it really glows..."

"It turns out that the freshly caught hairtail really glows. The hairtail I've seen so far are all dead. This is the first time I've seen a live hairtail just out of the water..."

This is true. Generally, cutlassfish will expose themselves when out of water because the pressure is greater the deeper the water.

Hairtail fish mainly live in sea areas below 30 degrees Celsius and cannot adjust to the difference in high and low pressure, so the pressure inside the hairtail fish's body is equivalent to that in the deep sea.

When hairtail is caught, the pressure of the outside air is much smaller than that inside the hairtail's body. When it leaves the water, the air pressure is too small for the hairtail to withstand the pressure all at once, causing fatal damage to the fish's body, such as the sudden expansion and rupture of the swim bladder.

That’s why you don’t see live hairtails on the market, and many hairtails have their bellies exposed and look poor in quality.

The hairtail over there had just been caught, and soon after that, one was also caught out of the water on their side. After the boatman shouted, everyone turned their attention back to their own longline fishing.

“It’s really bright…”

"How beautiful! The hairtail fish just out of the water is so beautiful..."

"The fishing line is good-looking, but the net line is not good-looking..."

"Like a great glowing sword..."

"You still know the Great Sword?"

"What a joke! I've watched TV dramas too, and I've seen people holding swords in them. They're exactly the same, long and silver..."

"Indeed, the group of fish gathered in the trench below looks like they have lights on. We caught them during the day. If we caught them at night, they would probably be brighter and more beautiful."

The luminescence of hairtail is related to its food chain. Hairtail often eats algae containing luminous bacteria, which will emit fluorescence in the body of hairtail, which is a normal phenomenon.

In addition, there are many fine scales on the surface of the hairtail, which can reflect light, so the hairtail looks like it is glowing. When it just comes out of the water, it will sparkle and emit silver light under the sun.

Just then, there was a cry of surprise from the fishing boat next to them. Everyone turned around to look, and then they also cried out in surprise.

"Boom... so many..."

"Fuck..."

"Fuck... it's full of damn things..."

"Oh my god...it's really full..."

"Oh my god, so many...all hung up..."

Ye Yaodong also watched with his eyes wide open, and originally he only saw a big shiny cutlassfish being pulled out of the water. Before he could finish admiring it, he saw the fishing lines behind it coming out of the water, with big silver-shining cutlassfish hanging under each fishing line.

The distance of the fishing line causes the area of ​​the hairtail exposed above the water to vary, and the fish heads are also exposed on the last visible fishing line.

Because the fishing lines are made more densely, each fishing line is several tens of centimeters apart, so after the main line is pulled up, the first line comes out of water, and a cutlassfish has just floated to the surface of the water, and the other fishing lines with shorter distances are also pulled out of water.

All the fishing lines that emerged from the water were shining silvery, and the length of the fish that emerged from the water on each fishing line was different, so everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

At first I thought it would be good if half of the fish were hooked, but I didn't expect that just after I pulled it up and before I caught the first hairtail, every exposed fishing line behind it was exposed, without a single empty hook.

"Collect quickly, collect quickly..."

"Hurry up and take a look, these are all full hooks..."

After everyone was surprised, they urged everyone to speak quickly, and some were so excited that they wanted to take action and help collect them.

"I'll come, I'll come..."

"Ah... and there's another one biting my tail..."

"Really... one drag and one up... can it be like this..."

"Oh my god... the beginning and the end are connected..." Ye Yaodong also said in surprise, "It's really like this."

Just after the first cutlassfish was completely pulled out of the water, there was actually another cutlassfish biting its tail, one dragging the other.

He also exclaimed, "This one fishhook can catch two fish, awesome..."

"That's really possible..."

"Will there be another bite later..."

"It's hard to say..."

To everyone's surprise, Ye Yaodong first unhooked the first hairtail and brought it to the deck.

This cutlassfish had another one biting from its tail. The two cutlassfish were connected head to tail and were almost as tall as him. He even held them up next to him to demonstrate.

"Will these two connected together make them as tall as me?"

"Yes, it's about the same height. A section of the tail has been bitten off. This one weighs more than a pound. It's this wide, and the meat is that thick."

"The two together weigh more than three pounds." Ye Yaodong knew the approximate weight when he held them in his hands.

A hairtail that is nearly one meter long and weighs about one and a half kilograms, and is a fishing hairtail, will not be cheap.

Hairtail is divided into net fishing and fishing fishing according to the fishing method.

The net belt is small, the sizes vary greatly, the fish scales are severely damaged, and the appearance is not very good; while the fishing belt individuals are relatively large, the appearance of the hairtail is good, and each hairtail has a fishing hook with a short line left in its mouth, making it easy to distinguish.

Usually the fishing line is expensive.

"Come on, here's the basket, put it here..." The boatman who couldn't get in nearby actively moved a basket over to load the boat.

Ye Yaodong had just removed the hook and the fishing line at the back was also pulled up.

"Oh my god, they're so big and so long..."

"Look... a series of full hooks..."

"I see, wow... it's really full... not a single empty hook, I'm rich..."

"We have fishing tape, which is more expensive than net tape. We are really going to get rich again..."

"What if there is one on each hook? Each one weighs more than a pound. I can't even calculate it. I can't even calculate it... With so many fishing lines, how much can we get?"

Ye Yaodong's fishing lines were made relatively densely, with five or six hooks hung on each line, which was unusual. Normally, there would be one hook under a fishing line.

Father Ye made some temporary changes yesterday afternoon. Thinking about the fish schools in the trench, he put on a few more hooks specifically. Unexpectedly, his bet turned out to be right.

Now, under the long fishing line that was pulled up, there were five or six fish hooks with cutlassfish hanging on them. There were a string of cutlassfish, a large silver-glittering piece hanging there, so everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"Adong...Adong, come and see...there's more behind..."

The boatman wrapped the main line around his hand a few times and pulled it tight. The fishing line at the back also moved up and out of the water. Everyone exclaimed even louder at the same time.

"Fuck... so many... they're all really hung up..."

“There really is no empty hook…”

……

No one was able to come up with any new words anymore and they just kept repeating the same few sentences over and over again. They originally thought that was enough, but after the main line was pulled taut and straight, more fishing line was pulled up from the bottom and more cutlassfish floated to the surface, and everyone's eyes widened.

No one can imagine how terrifying it is for a longline to have a 500% catch rate, and this is a modified and enhanced version of the longline. A shortened longline has hooks densely packed on it.

"Quickly collect it, quickly collect it, don't scream..."

"Old Pei's people have been yelling too, probably the same thing..."

"Of course it's the same. If we put them all in the trench and fish, there will be so many of them densely packed underneath. Oh my god, we'll really make a fortune..."

"This is too scary... all of them are cutlass fish..."

The boatman who was reeling in the line was also very excited. He had never thought that longline fishing could catch fish in this way. He worked even harder and quickly reeled in the main line, while letting others reel in the fishing line and remove the hooks.

Everyone was constantly removing hooks and collecting fish. Some of the hooks were swallowed too deep and the only way to get rid of the lines was to use scissors.

If you receive the beginning and the end connected, you will be so excited that you can click your tongue.

Of course, it is impossible to have a full hook. There are still some empty hooks. However, most of them have run away and the bait is gone. But there are also some that are connected from head to tail, and there are still quite a few of them.

Ye Yaodong has been watching them reap the rewards. Now that he is the boss, he has to order others to work and do less himself.

It so happened that he saw that the current fishing line was connected head to tail after it was pulled up. Everyone just said one thing after another, and they were already somewhat used to it, but he saw another fish bitten under the tail of the second fish.

"Fuck... Three..."

"Ah, this time there are three, breaking the record..."

"Awesome, it can be like this..."

"Haha, if every hook was stocked like this, we would really make a fortune."

"I can make a fortune even if I don't do this. I've almost finished the main line, but there are only a few empty hooks..."

"What a pity. The tail is broken when biting it, or there is a big wound, and the skin and flesh on the surface are damaged, so the appearance is not so complete."

“Some of them are okay…”

This kind of fish are connected head to tail. Although they look surprising, one after another, some of them have large bite wounds on the tail, which does not look so beautiful. These have to be picked out separately, as they are not as good as the complete ones.

Just for the ones that were connected from beginning to end, they collected half a basket of the main line, and all of them were damaged.

Just as everyone was busy collecting and the boatmen around were having a heated discussion, the two people who were digging for sea urchins below also floated to the surface one after another.

As soon as they approached the fishing boat, before they were pulled up, the two men shouted excitedly: "Fuck, why are there so many hairtails under the bottom..."

"Oh my god, this is my first time watching longline fishing underwater. It's amazing... They are all hairtails. They are all full of them. There are several of them hanging under one line, and they even glow..."

"There are so many... I was so scared when I was hunting sea urchins, and suddenly I saw a bunch of hairtails floating up beside me..."

"There was a whole bunch of them hanging under the line, rising from the trench behind us... and they were shining brightly... I was so scared that I peed my pants..."

"Yes, yes, yes. It floated up from behind us, and then rose above our heads, all glowing. My eyes bulged out as I watched a line being pulled up to the surface of the water, with a bunch of hairtails hanging below. Really a bunch of them..."

"Not only that, some have another one attached to their tail, there are so many..."

"We all wanted to come up and take a look. It was so scary. We never knew longline fishing could catch fish like this. It was so full that there were almost no empty hooks. There were several fish hanging on one line, just like grapes, they were brought up in bunches."

"Oh my god, it's so spectacular, it really blinded my eyes, a series of hairtails rose above my head..."

"I don't even have the heart to hunt sea urchins anymore. This is the first time I've seen this underwater..."

"You've never had the chance to get in the water before."

The two were pulled to the surface of the water while talking. Their expressions were extremely excited and they kept talking non-stop.

“Is it really that spectacular in the water?”

Everyone was very curious after hearing this. They were surprised when they collected the fish just now. Just imagine the scene under the water, it was really shocking.

"Why are you lying to me?"

"Of course it's spectacular, much more exaggerated than what you see on the sea. You can't see many on the sea, you can only see them floating on the water, you don't know what it looks like under the water, there are a series of them floating like white ribbons, they are really long strips, and they glow."

"Yes, yes. The main thing is that it glows and is full of them."

"Hurry up and take it off, it's my turn now. I want to go down and take a look. It just so happens that they haven't finished collecting yet..."

"It's my turn now... I'll go down and take a look."

Ye Yaodong's face was full of smiles after hearing this. He could imagine that when he was collecting sea urchins, a series of glowing cutlassfish suddenly floated up behind him. It was indeed spectacular and shocking enough.

The main reason is that there seems to be no empty hooks. There are five or six hanging under one hanging line, which is really exaggerated.

It looks dramatic enough from the shore, not to mention the full view you can see underwater.

　I have repaid the monthly tickets and will start paying back the monthly tickets of Alliance Leader 060704 tomorrow.
